I can't remember the name of the climb, but the 5.13a/b right above the National Forest sign, off the road in Maple Canyon about halfway between the Box and the parking for the Minimum Wall, etc, seemed like the coolest climb at the grade there to me. Also very good is the 5.13a out the center left side of the Compound, high up the road in Maple. 14 bolts long, total pumpfest.

Anyone in front range has good beta for The Web at Eldo? 5.13ab, 25ft, 4 bolts, classic, with Zero approach... sounds like a perfect project for me.

The web is awesome but not to be underestimated. Though the "business" of the route is indeed over in 25 feet, they pack quite a punch. It feels like pretty standard 13b IF you find the right beta. I think it would be a very difficult(but very proud) first 13.

Awesome and Proud is what I want to hear. I can deal with powerful or technical moves but just want to make sure there is no show stopper move that's too far to reach for a shorty like me, 5'5-6 with 0 index. What time of the day is good for this route? What routines do people do to warm up for it?

Captain Fantastic or somesuch. Big pulls between big holds on a steep wall, then techi tiny crimpin and pimpin to the chains.

Sounds like Hell and the Diablo wall fit your style very well.

I would do a lot of 4x4s at the Front, and make the trek down to Momentum to see how you are stacking up after a few months.

Would that be Captain Bullet? If so, I agree that it would be a perfect first 13.

Dude, the Web is 13b. And not an easy one. IMO. Try White Lies also in Eldo.

agreed. don't let the height fool you...25 Ft just means you have a lot, and I mean A LOT, harder rock climbing to do in a much shorter distance.

For the front range...I'd say Vasodilator, for my money, best 13a on the front range. Snakewatching in the Flatirons is a dead vertical 150 foot crimpfest (if that's what you're into).

Utah...Sprout is fun, but chipped and drilled all to hell. No single move is a 5.13 move, maybe mid 5.12. it's long too...you'd build some endurance just working the route.

I'd second Jeremy, go to IC, aid up something rad, work it on TR, send and be way proud of yourself. Or wait til summer and go to Mill Creek and climb Aesthetics (13a)....and let me know if you think it's 13a or 14a......

Description on the planet earth wall shares first two or three bolts with red neck! one of the best routes for the grade anywhere!! stellar rock lots'o climbing and killer movement make up this gem.. watch out for the thumb move at about 80ft. truly amazing!

Protection Bolts, but many people quake in there boots on this sporty pitch!!

You should go to to Chadbourne and climb some of the most righteous choss the wasatch has to offer. I recommend Beam and Coke, though not 5.13a it is 12d, so its close. Four deep in the Hoopti is 13a, I've never tried it but it has poison ivy at the base and a hornets nest halfway to the top. BADASS!
